Fun period.
As much as the Flames have looked like ass at times so far this season, I really, really like the team's defence corps. They have a fantastic blend of veteran leadership, youth with significant upside, offensive and defensive acumen. Valimaki in particular reminds me of Gio of yesteryear, with the ability to pull out smooth plays/passes as well as solid defensive play. I don't know that I'd change anything on the back end at all for Calgary.
Also, Bennett is getting himself in the right places on that top line. Still makes some poor decisions, but glad he's getting a long look with Gaudreau and Monahan.
